Former Williams players will be strapping on the pads and spiking the ball once again versus the current Eagles squad.The alumni will meet and compete with this year’s team, and time will be set aside for WBC to recognize the alumni who have helped shape the volleyball team.

Also, they will have the opportunity to share stories with each other and friends from the past.Coach Eric Newell described it as “very much like a class reunion.”He added, “Strong relationships between old and new players will help promote and increase the overall well-being of the program.”

The game will be for fun, but the coaching staff anticipates it to be competitive, as well.Newell said he has been in touch with several players from the last couple years, but would love to honor players from earlier generations, too.

For food and refreshment purposes the coaching staff is asking interested players to either call or email their RSVP so that preparations can be made. The event will take place at 3:30pm on August 20. Contact information is listed below.
